Chicago Fire

Welcome To The "Chicago Fire" Filming Locations Page.

To Get Started Click On The "Season 1" Link. From There Just Click On The Episode Name To Start The Tour. To See The Next Episode Just Click The Link At The Bottom Of Each Episode. I Will Try To Keep Current With The Locations After Each New Episode Airs. I May Omit Some Of The Interior And The Minor Exterior Locations As I Will Try To Just List The Locations That Easily Allow Photo Opportunities. I Will Usually Only List A Particular Location One Time A Season Unless It Is Used As A New Location Or If It Is An Important Location Shown At A New Angle.

If You Would Like To Help And Know Of A Missing Location That I Could Not Find Let Me Know In The Comments Section At The Bottom Of The Page From That Episode.

I Don't Receive Any Info On Where Filming Will Take Place In The Future.

Hello, I am not sure how to help you. I am not part of the production of the show. Maybe change your tv to mono instead of stereo that may help. I agree that a lot of movies and television shows don't have consistent audio because of surround sound.

Hello, yes it is a working fire station. The real firemen that are there were very nice to me when I stopped by and took my pictures. I did that very early in the series so not sure how receptive they are these days since the popularity is taking off.

Hi, I have not heard anything like that happening. If they really are not happy with the weather they can film earlier in the season and make up for lost time. The studio is getting more popular all the time so I doubt they are going to leave.

HI,I have a question. Are the trucks in serial the same as in real ? I ask because I see here

http://chicagoareafire.com/Div_9_D1_B3_18.html

that Fire Brigade/ Batalion 4th from Firehouse wherein series is filmed don't own either Engine 51 (but Engine 18) or Truck 81 (they have not it) or Ambulance 61 (but Ambulance 84) or Battalion car same as in TV series.So i would ask you where are the trucks ? Are they old trucks not being in use ?I can't understand how the episodes are filmed because in this firehouse 24/7 some live in the building, firefighters normally work so where are real trucks when the scenes are filming ? I know that some question are strange but it interests me.

Hi thanks for the question. I am really not sure on that answer. When I was there taking pictures early on in the series I noticed there were alternate trucks inside. The second time they had the tv fire trucks in the garage.

We watched them film a driving scene in Waukegan. It was pretty cool. I'm not the type who sees actors as anything "special", but my Best Friend enjoys it, so we went. There was a very small group of us just hanging back, mostly talk nerd about all our different DSLR's. We were near their "snack tent" and David Eigenberg came over whilst eating a donut, shook everyone's hand, took photos with us and was down right the nicest guy I have ever met. When he asked how I was doing, I literally felt like he wanted to know how I was doing - "Oh, but he is an actor!", my realist side reminds me. I have met several celebs, and most a were exactly as I expected, this gentleman was not.

We are the active firehouse where Chicago Fire is filmed. Many of the questions asked here can be answered by going to our Facebook page Engine18ChicagoFire. We do allow visitors to tour the firehouse on days the show isn't filming. When filming we run the rigs out of a temp garage behind the firehouse. We also have great Chicago Fire show gear available.

That is awesome! I am so glad I found this site! I am planning a trip at the beginning of August and we were hoping to check it out! 3 of us are coming form Ontario, Canada & 1 friend is from Michigan!

Hello - My boyfriend is a volunteer Firefighter in Wisconsin. I'd love to take a weekend trip and visit station 51. Can we just show up at the fire station and ask for a tour? Is there a number we can call or email address to contact? What do you suggest?

Did you know that the building used in the show as the firehouse is the real home of Chicago FD's Engine 18, located at 1360 S. Blue Island Avenue at Maxwell Street, between 13th & Racine. Housed here is ALS Engine 18, 2-2-1 (Deputy District Chief - 1st District), 4-5-7 (Paramedic Field Chief - EMS District 7), 6-4-16 (High-Rise Response Unit), and BLS Ambulance 84.

Did you know CFD firefighters featured as extras during scenes in the firehouse and real places in the city were often referenced in the characters' dialog. And did you know this Chicago artist and retired firefighter Lee J. Kowalski's oil paintings of fire scenes can be spotted in several episodes.

We noticed a lot of questions about tours at Engine 18 aka Station 51. We welcome visitors. Best times are between 9-11 am and 1-3 pm. We offer Station/show gear at firehouse or on our site http://shop.engine18chicagofire.com Please visit and like our Facebook page. /Engine18ChicagoFire. Any questions feel free to email us at cfdengine18@yahoo.com

I will be in Chicago June 27-July 3 With my son. My husband is a volunteer firefighter here in PA. Is it possible to stop by and get a couple T-shirts? Do I need to call before about sizes? Thank you so much.

I'm a medic from Michigan and I will be coming to Chicago for the first time as a mother's day present from my husband, with my mom and sister! I went be able to contain myself from stopping and taking pictures!

Hello, I work at a church in the city of Chicago. We have a property that we are no longer using and looking at tearing it down. Before we do that we were wondering if maybe you would like to use it in one of your filming shoots. Please let me know who I should contact to give details about the property and what not. Let me know as soon as you can please.

Hi, I have nothing to do with the production of the show. I just watch the episodes and find the filming locations and post where they are. Go to Twitter and follow "Filming In Chicago". See if the may get your message to a person from the location department. Good luck.

Hi! Going to be visiting Chicago on Nov 20-21 and would love to stop in and see the station. My brother is a firefighter and collects tshirts from various stations, do you have any onsite to sell? Do you know of any filming going on those days? Thanks so much!!

I'm a cop from England and over here there's a pretty big rivalry between police and firefighters! even so I've been hooked on Chicago fire it's an awesome show, would be pretty cool to take a look around the fire house someday and see how it's done across the water.

Last year we ran across a taping of Chicago fire by accident. Now I am bringing another group of foreign exchange students this year and I am wondering if there are any taping happening April 15th or 16th?

If there is going to be filming in your neighborhood, the city will post signs banning parking. I don't remember if they state which show. I've seen them posted twice around the corner from my house, they were for two of the Fire and PD. I even had a notice posted on my front door to call some Illinois department if I was interested in them using it for one of these shows, but I never followed up,because my handicapped sister was living on the first floor.
